Crowded with Love!

I wanted to post about my birthday and I have this card hanging in my

bathroom/ art gallery. I was tickled last year when THREE people gave me the same birthday card. Isn't that cool? This year, my awesome friends at work sang to me and brought me presents. My husband Dave came home from a workshop in Lake Arrowhead with a bag filled with goodies. We went to see Todd Rundgren in concert and it rocked!

We discovered a wonderful artist, Paul Freeman, who opened for Todd.

I got lots of messages and birthday wishes from my friends ! I feel very blessed to have such a fabulous posse of family and friends who always make me feel loved!

About Me

I have a degree in Child Development and have been teaching for 25 years. Most of these years have been spent with second graders with the exception of 4 years in first grade. I love introducing my students to the joy of reading "chapter books" and the language of literature.
I am a mixed-media artist and am lucky to be teaching at a fine arts magnet school. I use music and visual art every day in my classroom.
I have been married for 29 years and my husband teaches High School English. I have raised 4 wonderful kids and am still working on the yellow labs that live in our house.
